Talk:The Unofficial MLS FAQ

From LDSOSS

Will MLS ever beable to have two or more people using it at the same time?

Is there away of setting up more then one computer, reason being, everyone needs a report or something when you are trying to get your membership clerk duties done so you stop to get them what they want but 2 min. later someone else comes in that needs something.?

Adding a Family to MLS

I am a new ward clerk, and my membership clerk is even newer, so we don't know a lot about MLS other than what is contained in the Record-keeping Training on lds.org. I have been doing some of the membership stuff so I can learn the system.

I recently moved a family into the ward through MLS. I entered the husband's full name on the top line and the wife's full maiden name on the second line, then entered the other necessary data and sent it. When the record was added to our ward database by the administration office, it included the two children, but not the wife. It showed her as being the husband's spouse on his ordinance record, but she was not in the membership list at all. I had to request her record separately. Is this normal, or should I have done something different?

I know that I entered the wife's info correctly the first time, because it just so happens that she is my niece.
